Made my 10-2 Pick. Off to bed, ETR about 8 AM EDT. Although, with my sleep aptnia, and frequent bathroom trips during the night, I might check in here a time or two.
Mal left me a few proxy choices, so most of us will get a pick each before we have to pause for the aussies to sleep
When's a good time for the last pick to be made, so everyone has a normal time to start the first come first served post draft pre season squad adjustment period 24 hrs after that pick. I haven't done the math this year. Not sure if it's E AUS daylight savings time or not. I think if we make the last pick at 6 PM EDT, it's 8 AM EAUS, which might be a good time to start the free for all.
We have 3 teams that are not in All Rocks / Stadler Waldorf Cup from Sand: Aviators FC Epikoinis Ryan's Reds let me know if you need me to resend the codes.
Does everyone agree to start the post draft squad adjustment at 8AM EDT, 6PM EAUS Sidney time tomorrow? If not, suggest an alternative.
How does that work? Does that involve us making trades or us being able to make changes using the players that weren't picked during the draft?
Yes you can change players undrafted and you can trade with other players I am going to create a new thread for all trades/transfers after our last pick is made later today. The long standing rule is that posts recorded in that thread are first come first served. So if Norm transfers in a player and I also go for the same player it is whoever posts first that gets the player. You still have to be in the 100M budget and not have more than 3 players from one club. You can also post multiple transfers in one post - but if any part of that post is invalid (another player beat you to one of the players) all the post is invalid. If you agree on a trade with another player - bot players must post in the thread for it to become official. Before the first match starts all of your team should be loaded correctly into the official FPL site
It is been hinted at by Hal - but the transfer thread is only active 24 hours after our last pick is made. Eric has the last pick so if he picks at 6pm Eastern today our transfer thread is "open" at 6pm tomorrow. Players must be in the FPL database - so even if clubs announce Messi you have to wait until FPL site puts them in their system with a transfer value.
Sounds fine to me - post Eric’s pick at 6pm ET and I will create transfer thread tonight If any players have questions about the transfer rules let us know
I have Eric's final pick. I can wait to post it then, starting the 24 hour wait period. Or I can post it now if we all agree that the 24 hour wait period before starting our post draft squad adjustments ends at 6 PM EDT / 8AM Sydney. That's when we can start making squad adjustments
That works for me. And so just to be clear, starting at 6 ET tomorrow we can make transfers? And the way we do that is by posting them in the google sheet?
Post them in the transfer thread - read up this thread for more information Transfer thread will be created in a few minutes
I was just checking your spreadsheet and heads up Parraraiders will need to transfer out one of Ederson, Gundogan, De Bruyne, or Grealish on his next transfer out.
Keep your nose out of our business. (Sort of (Not really)) I'd spotted that as well and quickly made an offer that Mal accepted that solved this problem. I would have been miffed if you had alerted other Sand League managers who might have also made a competing offer. Aviators traded Ward-Prowse SOU Mid 6.5 for Gundogan MCI Mid 7.5. And made the appropriate corrections in the spreadsheets. Added a column to the right for comments.
